I found a banner saying ``I'm doing bagels'' along Yamate Street in Kai City!
Today I came to Bagel Tao, a bagel specialty store.
When you think of bagels, in Japan, the mainstream is sweet bagels with things like chocolate or raisins, but here, the ``NY-style'' meal bagels are the best.

As soon as you enter the store, you will be greeted with about 10 types of bagels.There are a variety of bagels available, including the seasonal "Mikuri" and the unusual flavor "Eggplant Cinnamon Kurichi."
Of course, you can take out or eat in as well, but today's specialty is the "bagel sandwich"!

Choose your favorite bagel and topping menu from the bagels lined up at the store.
The bagel is "garlic salt" and the topping is...
Among the standard cream cheese and raw ham options, I decided to try the most popular, ``Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese.''

A masterpiece with smoked salmon swimming in a sea of ​​cream cheese!
``If you're going to eat it, you'll have to put plenty of toppings on it,'' says the owner, who serves a large portion.
Thick bagel and packed with toppings...
I'm so looking forward to the completion!

Here is the completed bagel sandwich!
The rich cream cheese and spicy garlic salt flavored bagel melts in your mouth.
Made with eggs, milk, and no butter, it's a thick dough that's healthy, filling, and filling.

Enjoy tea time with ``Mikuriwa black tea'' made with sweet chestnuts, which is perfect for this time of year.
...and the drinks are also big!!
I see, this is the "NY style".

There are many other bagels that interest you.The owner's favorite ``pretzels'' have a good balance of aroma and saltiness, and when you eat in, you can enjoy them with plenty of butter between them.
Hmm, just thinking about it makes me feel happy.

In addition to bagels, we also found baked goods!
The ``Mulberry Muffins'' are made with mulberries, a specialty of Kai City, and are colored with mulberry leaves, and when you take a bite, you'll be warmed by the gentle sweetness.

There are still many bagels that I would like to introduce to you, but since they are only open every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you might not have enough time to try them all.
If you are interested, please come and check it out.
